"While coming here did you honestly think I was going to believe your cock and bull story?" Jasmine mumbled with a heavy saddened voice from what she had heard. "Who did you even think you are to come here and spill such bullshit before me, expecting me to believe!?" She snapped angered. "Calm down Jasmine.... I" "Calm down? You expect me to calm down after the bullshit you just spilled?" She continued bawling, trying her hardest to prevent the tears that had gathered at her eyes from falling. "I'm sorry but I didn't mean it that way, I only wanted to tell you the truth about..." "Truth? What truth?! Your perfectly crafted cock and bull story? Your imagination? What truth!!" "Just who the fuck did you even think you are!! What gave you the right and impetus to say this to me!"" I was the..."Again Jasmine cut her short. But his time her voice was calmer than how angry she had been before. She was still, as if she had received a new revelation. "Ofcourse. Did I forget. You're
Arun watched from a corner of his eyes as Maya answered almost all the questions asked by the press she had Invited. She had won. Well, it was obvious she did. She had gotten him to return to their mansion with her where she already had numerous Interviews waiting for their return. And she has made him appear before the camera with her, regardless of how angry he had been. To admit she did have a good plan up her sleeve and her burning his warehouse had garnered pity from the public towards him, sentiments that were fast rising his stocks back into the market. And with what she argued about the recording being adulterated and fake, it was easy to believe too, considering how AI was on the rise in the society and the use of cloning apps. She indeed was smart but the remnants of his anger about her burning his biggest warehouse still remained. "You will go to work after the interview. You'll show the people that you're not backing out from what belongs to you" she said affectionat
"Please stop the car" Jasmine's rasped voice came but the taxi driver didn't do as she had instructed. She repeated what she had said and her request seemed to have annoyed the driver."I'm not stopping till I reach your destination. You two caused me to miss appointments today,do you think you can be able to pay for the damage you caused me by wasting my time?" Marshal knew from the tone of the man's voice that he had been angered. True,they wasted his time but he had underestimated him and how he would have rewarded him handsomely if not for the disrespect he has shown to Jasmine in his presence."Stop the car right now!! Fucking stop the car right now!!" Jasmine screamed hitting the doors of the car as hard as she could.She needed to breath. She needed to walk away because perhaps doing so was going to while away the pains she felt.The car wasn't providing that comfort she needed and only walking down the bush road appeared to do so."Please just stop the car. We'll drop here"
Arun walked into the company building. At first, he heard murmurs around him but he raised his head and walked right in. They were his workers and he had rights over them. For those he beheld their faces sniggering behind his back, he was going to sack and lay off without notice. This was his company and he was going to take it back from the chaos he had left it to be in, especially the new one Maya added. "Welcome back to work sir" His assistant ran over to him as he was approaching. He looked like someone who had not left his job position ever since he left him. "Go on" he instructed sensing that he had wanted reporting something to him. "The warehouse at ....." "I know" Arun sighed and mumbled, cutting him short before he could finish. Of course he knew what had happened to the warehouse, more surprising was that it was his wife who had caused it and was now leading a narrative that it had been caused by enemies and a paid arsonist. And an investigat
"Tell the reporters we're no longer taking interviews" But the call was incessant and the caller did not back out from calling. "Have you told what I said?" Maya questioned her chauffer. He had been acting as her secretary the past weeks and she hadn't questioned why nor ready to stop him from doing so, being safe in his company. "The caller seems to have am insider information to tell you ma'am" "What is there to tell me that I haven't heard" she muttered to herself before collecting the phone from him. "Your sister is alive and she is Marshall Yugo's wife" the voice said before the call disconnected. Maya puzzled over the bit of information she had been told. Her sister... Jasmine... Jasmine Padmavati. But Marshall... The Padmavati's... Thinking out loud, the Padmavati's weren't in attendance on the day he unveiled her and there was no sign of even one of the family members. Could it be that what she had been told was true or someone was trying to pul
The fragrance Maya perceived oozing from her chauffer was somewhat familiar. It's musky scent reminded her of someone she had met at Arun's company before but she couldn't piece whom. As she alighted from the chauffer and began walking up the stairs to take the elevator, then did it happen that her memories were awaken.Yes, she had seen her chauffer from somewhere before. She had run into him on one of her trips down Arun's office. How could she forget. She was angry that day caused by Arun's stupidity and she had bumped into an arrogant man who got her without apologizing. The man had been handsome, the same handsomeness that had caught her attention that day and had caught her attention the day she cheated on Arun with him. The same handsomeness that had made her question why he chose to be a chauffer instead of other flashy titles he could have picked up from his path to success from his good looks. She wanted to smile and feel proud that he had seen working for her as an ho
Maya was growing hot with impatience as well as they all sat waiting for the board members like she thought they were. Jasmine sat in their midst knowing she was whom they were waiting for but didn't bother to speak since none of them didn't ask her. Marshall's secretary had come with her and sat by her side while they both waited, for who ever Arun and jos wife believed they were waiting for. In after what seemed like forever, Maya finally asked her husband whom they were waiting for and if it were still his other board members who held minority rights in the room."The owner of Jasmine companies" he muttered. She stared at him and then at Jasmine. She was there already. Didn't he know that she was the owner? Oh well, how was he to. But at the same time it hinted her at another reason. If Arun didn't see her as coming to represent the jasmine companies, then why was she there and who was she representing. " Of a truth, you are actually looking at the CEO and owner of Jasmine Cor
"Don't you think you're exposing yourself too much for a person that doesn't have her name cleared yet?" Maya asked with all seriousness, facing Jasmine as she did. Jasmine smiled as she knew where she was driving at and Marshall had been wise enough to expect a day like this. "I'm sorry but I do not quiet follow you Mrs. Ruge" she calmly replied. "Oh stop with the silly pretended Jasmine. You don't need to hide the fact that you're Jasmine Jaiswal from me" Jasmine turned to her secretary. "Jasmine Jaiswal is the late daughter of the Jaiswal family. Perhaps you're being mistaken for her ma'am because of the resemblance in your names" he explained. Maya bursted into an uncontrollable laughter. " I swear you're so good at acting Jasmine. You should be given an Oscar because I almost didn't even recognize" " If you would excuse us ma'am, my boss here has a meeting we're attending and we cannot afford to be late for anything" her secretary said again and Jasmine began walking away
Mr Jaiswal's face switched from the calm demeanor it had been to a busy heartbeat.What he had just heard from the news was not one that required him sitting down to hear. Something had happened since the day he was unconscious due to his poisoning.He picked up the remote controller and switched back to the news channel he had slipped before." A bizarre thing happened at the board members election of Jaiswal Corporations and his daughter revealed that she had been adopted. What made it more shocking was how she went on to reveal that the heir to the managing director position of the company whom everyone believed to be a true Jaiswal was also a fake. He was the product of Mrs. Jaiswal's fling with her then driver who happened to have died last week. Netizens are speculating that she might have had a hand in his death because of the time frame. But those are all speculations and no one can tell because Mrs. Jaiswal who has also been called by the police for questioning regarding the
Mrs Jaiswal's car arrived at a venue she had been texted and walked out cautiously out of her car, turning to check her back all the time to ascertain if anyone was following her or might have done so. "Are you sure this facility is hidden enough? I don't want the media or people to find out my son is at this place. Are you sure with it being empty and hidden?" She pressed the man at the counter so kept replying her in the affirmative. It was hidden enough, he couldn't tell why she was finding it hard to believe when it truly was hidden. He watched from the door as she entered the last room where her son was at. It was the only room having a patient, like she had requested.. The others were empty and only her son was a psychiatric patient at the facility. Mrs Jaiswal hugged her son tightly. She couldn't afford watching her only child go to jail over a meagre substance abuse case and had worked her butt off getting him freed illegally out of jail. Only this psychiatric facility
Another bullet was fired and this hit Maya before she could pull the trigger of her gun. A police man had gunned her down and she fell to the floor, bleeding as well, regret and anger etched all over her face. But her motivation still burned deeply inside her and propelled her to still aim at Jasmine even as she was unconscious on the floor. She had to kill her, to her that was all that mattered. Marshall used the distraction caused by Maya being gunned down to rush over to where Jasmine was and carried her. "Please save my baby" Arun managed to whisper as he held on tightly to Marshall's leg. "Save my child" he continued to plead but Marshal pulled his leg away from him and carried Jasmine and ran off as he could. Arun stayed back while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The police had said they called them. No one rushed towards him, not even one person. Jasmine would have if this had been in the past. She would have rushed to him even if she were wounded. He was to be bla
"14billion!! For both Mother and child. You don't have to perform a surgery on her, just give me both and I will relinquish 14billion to you" Arun screamed on top of his lungs. "What?" Marshall shouted, angry with the way he was quick in pricing his woman as if she were some sort of property. He glanced over his wrist watch. Two minutes had passed and the police would probably be on their way. But his men would reach within the next few minutes so till then, he had to stall for some time. "Do you have any other solutions you propose Marshall?" Arun asked him desperately seeing that they had been cornered and Maya didn't care for whatever decision she was preparing to take next. For him he wanted both Jasmine and the baby. The mere thoughts of her being with Marshall gave him goosebumps that made his skin itch. This was an ample opportunity as well for him. If things were well, he didn't mind kidnapping her in the ending and running away with her. She was his from the onset. Marsh
Marshall had anticipated a day like this and had done a DNA masking surgery on Jasmine. And as if she knew Maya was cooking something sinister for her, she had come prepared as that was he only bullet Maya had at hand against her. "I'll go by the chauffeur ma'am. The men are coming here soon, please wait behind" her secretary said and made way to rush to drive the car to where she was at.It wasn't up to a few minutes after her secretary left to drive the car towards her that she felt a hand cover her nose. She hadn't anticipated that her safety would be compromised so she hadn't been alert and had allowed the security off her sight for a second. Slowly, she lost her balance and dizzied as the smell oozing from the handkerchief her nose was covered with took control over her. Arun's three s reached as he saw what happened and he immediately began chasing after the car that Jasmine had been put into. He had been trailing her the few days and for a brief second he had taken his eye
Maya's eyes locked onto Jasmine's with a fierce determination burning within them. "I think it's time we settled this once and for all so that those that have ajil terms to serve would continue" Maya said with her voice steady, subtly making a diss at Jasmine.The room fell silent with all eyes on Maya. She gestured to a technician from the DNA testing house she had invited. "Please, reveal the results."The technician nodded and began to explain. "We've conducted DNA tests on Maya Jaiswal. The results show..." The technician paused, scanning the room before continuing. "Jasmine Jaiswal is indeed the biological daughter of the Chairman Jaiswal."The room erupted into chaos with gasps and murmurs spreading like wildfire. Maya's eyes never left Jasmine's face with a mixture of emotions swirling within her.Mrs. Jaiswal's face turned ashen, her eyes wide with shock. "This can't be," she whispered, her voice trembling, pretending to be shocked even though it was all an act she hoped
"Isn't that the man that was reported dead a few days ago on the news?" A lady asked from the crowd and only them did it occur to Mrs Jaiswal that she had called two media women and a man to cover when her son would become acting cooperation president. She never expected anything to go sour and then still recording. "Make them stop!! Immediately!! Make them stop!!!" Mrs Jaiswal's lips moved at her secretary who was a meters close to her. "Make them stop? They're already live mother and whatever is happening here is already available and accessible to internet users. Wasn't that the instructions you gave them?" Mrs Jaiswal's face fell. Her plans were backfiring and working against her and she couldn't control it from happening. "What does this dead man have to do with what we're discussing here Maya? He is not even a politician or a well known person" Maya turned the speaker down with a flick of her finger."To you he might not be. Beloved mother, do you mind telling your board o
Maya's eyes narrowed while turning to her mother's direction. "Don't think you can hide it from us, Mrs. Jaiswal," she said with her voice dripping with malice. "We all know what's really going on here."The room fell silent, with all eyes on Maya and Mrs. Jaiswal. The tension was palpable, and it seemed like the entire room was holding its breath."What are you talking about, Maya?" Mrs. Jaiswal asked, trying to keep her composure."I'm talking about your son's addiction," Maya replied, her voice firm. "I'm talking about how you've been hiding it from the board members and the rest of the world."The room erupted into chaos with board members shouting and demanding answers. Mrs. Jaiswal's face turned bright red with rage and she looked like she was about to explode."How dare you!" she shouted at Maya, her voice echoing through the room. "You have no right to accuse my son of such things!"But Maya just smiled, a triumphant look on her face. "I have every right," she said. "And I
It was finally the D-day for the board to decide if Mr. Jaiswal's heir should begin working as the new CEO of the corporation. The CEO had been absent from work for a few days now but his wife was able to hide the news of his disappearance with a fake document of him travelling abroad for treatments. She had wanted to stage it as a death of the chairman but because his body had not been found regardless of how many divers she sent to the ocean to search for it in the past few days, none had found his body. This had caused her to call for the meeting with her board immediately, fearing that someone would be out with an incriminating evidence against her son. "Alright, we've gathered here today to vote if the new CEO should begin acting as one" the microphone man announced and Jasmine shared a gaze to her step mother who caught her doing so. They smiled. Jasmine too. She knew she must have already found out whom she was. Mrs Jaiswal fought hard to keep her composure calm. This wa
